讓我們面對(duì)這個(gè)現(xiàn)實(shí)吧：所有的其他條件都一樣，老板們會(huì)更愿意招聘那些住在當(dāng)?shù)氐那舐氄撸辉高x擇那些住在城區(qū)以外的應(yīng)聘者。因?yàn)檫@樣能夠更方便的安排面試，也不用為員工安排住宿而費(fèi)心傷財(cái)了。但是來(lái)自Monster的數(shù)據(jù)表明，大約有一半的求職者愿意為了工作方便而遷移自己的住所。
如果你正打算搬家或者有遷移住所的想法，按照以下這些貼士說(shuō)的做，你就可以讓你的簡(jiǎn)歷更容易被招聘者注意到了：
寫上所有你愿意定居的地方
在簡(jiǎn)歷制作程序的“志愿工作地區(qū)”一欄里列出所有你愿意工作的地點(diǎn)。在這一欄里，你也應(yīng)該回答你愿意為了工作而搬遷。當(dāng)招聘者在查看簡(jiǎn)歷的時(shí)候，他們可以選擇那些住在本地或者愿意在本地工作的求職者。所以一定要確保自己能夠榜上有名。
把愿意遷移住所放在簡(jiǎn)歷的開(kāi)頭
在簡(jiǎn)歷制作程序的工作目標(biāo)部分詳細(xì)敘述你可以搬遷到哪些地方。如果你準(zhǔn)備搬到某一個(gè)具體的地區(qū)，像“尋找達(dá)拉斯地區(qū)的工作職位”這樣的陳述能夠很好的表達(dá)你的意思。如果你的選擇比較靈活，寫上一句：“愿意搬到全國(guó)的任何地方”或者“可以搬到東北地區(qū)”。如果你有很明確的搬遷計(jì)劃，你可以說(shuō)“2004年10月將會(huì)搬到芝加哥�！�
在說(shuō)明信里表明自己的情況
你的說(shuō)明信是說(shuō)明你的情況的最合適的地方。這里給出表達(dá)自己搬遷意愿的幾種方式：
•準(zhǔn)備到某個(gè)地方工作和生活：“我愿意在2004年9月搬到洛杉磯居住。你提供的工作正是我所追求的挑戰(zhàn)，并且我也非常希望能夠有機(jī)會(huì)和您面談。”
•回到你的家鄉(xiāng)（這能夠顯示出你的根在那兒，因而你會(huì)長(zhǎng)久的留在那里）：“盡管我在現(xiàn)在的職位上取得了一些成績(jī)，我還是期望能夠回到愛(ài)荷華州的博伊西長(zhǎng)久工作�！辈挥脫�(dān)心，你可以幽默一些，或者提及家鄉(xiāng)與眾不同的地方，比如說(shuō)球隊(duì)或者天氣等。
•讓自己有更多的選擇：在我職業(yè)生涯的這一重要時(shí)刻，我正在尋找一個(gè)最適合自己的工作崗位，所以我愿意為合適的工作機(jī)會(huì)而搬遷住處。
參加面試
如果你打算在某個(gè)地區(qū)工作，先準(zhǔn)備好在那個(gè)地方呆上一個(gè)星期左右的時(shí)間來(lái)參加與老板面對(duì)面的面試。你的說(shuō)明信里可以提到你在某一段時(shí)間內(nèi)可以在這里參加面試。你也可以向招聘者建議用電話面試的方式來(lái)進(jìn)行溝通。如果雙方彼此都有興趣的話，再安排見(jiàn)面。
考慮提出自付搬遷費(fèi)用
有些擁有特殊才能的專業(yè)人員非常的搶手，并且有些老板也非常樂(lè)意支付員工的搬遷費(fèi)用，提供婚姻住房補(bǔ)貼，甚至為員工在這個(gè)地區(qū)找一個(gè)新的房子。這些專業(yè)人才通常能夠通過(guò)談判得到一份不錯(cuò)的搬遷補(bǔ)貼方案。
而其他的應(yīng)聘者在尋找工作的過(guò)程中則要面臨更多的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，面臨當(dāng)?shù)氐臈l件相同的求職者的強(qiáng)力挑戰(zhàn)。如果是這樣的話，考慮一下，如果你愿意支付搬遷費(fèi)用，你能夠得到更多的機(jī)會(huì)。在說(shuō)明信里，用一句話說(shuō)明你的這一“賣點(diǎn)”，比如：“我對(duì)您提供的這個(gè)工作機(jī)會(huì)非常感興趣，我愿意自己支付所有的搬遷費(fèi)用”，或者“我愿意9月份自己支付費(fèi)用搬遷到杰克遜維爾�！�
不要使用別人的地址
有些人為了在找工作的過(guò)程中占得先機(jī)，胡編亂造自己的地址。這有可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致一些問(wèn)題。如果你現(xiàn)在的工作在某個(gè)城市，而你真正的住址卻在很遠(yuǎn)的地方，招聘經(jīng)理可能會(huì)感到很疑惑或者覺(jué)得你的地址會(huì)讓人誤解。如果你被要求參加一個(gè)面試，而你不能夠馬上趕到那里，更多的問(wèn)題就會(huì)接踵而至。然后談話就會(huì)很令人尷尬——你并不真正住在市區(qū)里。對(duì)于你住在哪里最好誠(chéng)實(shí)一點(diǎn)，用上面給出的這些策略來(lái)告訴老板，你已經(jīng)做好準(zhǔn)備為這個(gè)不錯(cuò)的工作機(jī)會(huì)背起行囊了。
Rev Up Your Resume to RelocateLet's face it: All other things being equal, employers would rather recruit local applicants than out-of-towners. It's more convenient to schedule interviews and there are no hassles or cost concerns associated with relocation. But according to Monster data, about half of all job seekers are willing to move for the right job.
If you're planning to move or just open to the idea of relocation, follow these tips to get your resume noticed.
Add All Target LocationsList all potential locations in the Resume Builder's Target Locations field. In the same section, answer yes to the i am willing to relocate. When employers search resumes, they have the option to include job seekers who both reside in or are willing to work in the selected locations, so be sure your name makes their hit list.
Mention Relocation at the Top of Your ResumeUse the Resume Builder's Objective field to specify your relocation availability. If you're targeting a specific area, a statement such as searching for a position in the Dallas area?gets the point across. If you're more flexible, include a line such as available to relocate nationwide or open to relocation to the Northeast.If you have firm plans to move, you can say relocating to Chicago in October 2004.
Elaborate in Your Cover LetterYour cover letter is the perfect place to explain your situation. Here are a few ways to word your relocation preferences:
•Targeting a specific area: at lease note that I will be relocating to Los Angeles in September 2004. Your opening presents the precise challenge I am seeking, and I would welcome the chance to discuss this opportunity with you.
•Returning to your hometown (this shows that you have roots in the target location, so you're more likely to stay put this time): although I have been successful in my current position, I am eager to make a permanent move back to Boise.Don't be afraid to use humor and mention something unique to the town, such as the home team or weather.
•Keeping your options open: at this point in my career, I am searching for a position that would be a perfect fit, so I am open to relocating for the right opportunity.
Be Available for InterviewsIf you're targeting a specific area, plan to be available in the location for a week or so to attend face-to-face interviews. Your cover letter can mention that you will be available for interviews in the location for a certain period of time. You may also suggest an initial phone interview, and then arrange to meet in person if there is mutual interest.
Consider Offering to Pay Relocation ExpensesSome professionals with desirable credentials are aggressively recruited, and some employers are more than willing to pay for relocation, offer spousal relocation assistance and even help find a new house in the new location. These professionals can usually negotiate an attractive relocation package.
Other candidates face a more competitive job search, going up against local job seekers who may have comparable qualifications. If so, consider that more doors could be opened if you are willing to pay relocation costs. Use this as a selling point in your cover letter with a line such as, at lease note that I am very interested in your opportunity and am willing to incur all relocation expenses or i will be relocating to Jacksonville in September at my own expense.
Don't Use Someone Else's AddressSome folks try to get an edge in a long-distance job search by fudging the address. This can cause problems; if your current job is located in one city and your address is far away, the hiring manager will probably be confused or concerned that your address was misleading. More problems may ensue if you're called for an interview and you're unable to get there right away. Then there's the uncomfortable discussion that you don't actually live in town. It's better to be honest about where you're living and use the above resume and cover letter strategies to show you're ready to pack your bags for the right opportunity.
